Elite Contractors Services Inc

perfectly. They managed to work in an occupied apartment building with many restrictions on noise, trash removal, etc. They promised 6 weeks, and finished in 6 weeks. The quality of the work was excellent.

it all went great. The workers were professional. They took every measure to protect areas that were not part of the remodel and the work was excellent. The office manager listened to what I wanted and with her expertise and my ideas in my head, we put together the perfect kitchen for me. The bathroom door was widened and a spa like shower was built replacing the bathtub. I love it! The living , dining and kitchen were dark requiring lights even on bright sunny days. Walls were removed to provide an open loft concept. Recess lighting and sky lights provide bright natural light during the day and lots of light at night. I will recommend this company to anyone.

In 2014 Elite conducted excellent design/remodeling/general contractor work in our Georgetown DC home. Earlier this year (through no fault of Elite) our bathroom faucet bathtub hit the end of its lifecycle and broke and the control (off/on) fell below into the unreachable tile platform supporting the bathtub. Although there was not a water leak, the water could not be turned off without shutting off all the water for the floor. With two children under four, an ongoing deep freeze spell outside, my wife working full time, and me being deployed to Iraq with the military, my wife knew there were limited options and time to fix the situation without major disruption. Although far beyond his scope of responsibility/warranty, Ken knew my family was in need and without hesitation sent over immediate help. This summarizes the kind of person Ken and his company are. He had nothing to gain, owed nothing, expected nothing in return, but knew we were in a difficult situation and wanted to help. Thank you.

It went well, Ken and Ana were able to help us navigate the options and at no stage did they attempt to upsell us or sneak in additional costs. We looked at Houzz.com for additional ideas and worked with Ken and Ana to develop a workable solution. They were intent on keeping the project on budget and on schedule. The quality for the money was exceptional. Ken is a man of high integrity and very fair. He keeps his word and values his customers.

Elite Contractors Services did not submit the most cost efficient proposal, but the fact that they had an architect in house as well as the positive personal connection we felt from our initial discussions made us decide to do the job with them. Ken was at our house almost every day to make sure things progressed as planned, but his whole crew was great. Everybody was very nice and considered and always concerned to make us as their customers happy. We are very happy with the final product, especially the open stair case design that makes for a much more appealing and inviting space both on the first and the second floor of our home. As with any project of this magnitude we did have a few issues that did not quite work out as we had hoped, but Ken always made sure that those were resolved to our satisfaction. Also, the few problems that arose after the renovation was completed were always addressed quickly and thoroughly without any further charges.

We worked with Ken and Ana over a number of weeks to put together designs for remodeling our kitchen and bathroom. We were impressed with their professionalism and the level of effort that they put into developing the designs. Ana was meticulous in her designs and prompt and detailed in her responses to our questions, and Ken provided good advice along the way. It was a real pleasure working with both of them.

The two women who work for Elite Cleaning have done an excellent job for many months. The house is spotless when they complete their work. Unlike some companies, they move items to clean under and not just clean around. This makes a big difference and one of the main reason we like them so much. We first meet with Matt who explained exactly what they would do and provided us an estimate. The cost was reasonable so we engaged them for service every two week. The cleaners are hard working, one time, honest and friendly. We could not ask for more. We highly recommend this company.

Elite Contractor's Services remodeled our kitchen more than two years ago. While we were extremely happy with both the design by Ana and work done by Ken's crew, after some time we discovered that the tile they installed would not hold grout and in some places the floor seemed to flex more than it should. After several attempts by me to resolve the grout problem, I finally wrote Ken and Ana an email describing the issue. We were out of the warranty period, but Ken unhesitatingly offered to fix the problem. Although I offered to pay part of the cost, Ken declined and promised the problem would be fixed to my satisfaction at no cost to me. I was surprised as this would not be a small job. Ken came with his project manager, reviewed the situation and agreed the problem would require reinforcing the floor and redoing the tile job to correct the problem. Within a few days, Ken arranged for his flooring specialists to begin work. They started by removing the previously installed tiles and the concrete board underlayment. Ken's workers discovered the original home builder had left some ends of the plywood subfloor unsupported and had missed securing the subfloor to the joists below in some cases. These conditions were not apparent when the tile had first been installed in place of a linoleum floor. Rather than destroy the finished ceiling below, Ken's workers carefully cut into the kitchen's plywood subfloor and nailed two by fours between the floor joists to stabilize the subfloor where it was unsupported and then screwed the plywood back into place. They also located places where the floor was not secured to a joist and screwed those section down. Over top of the now more stable floor they placed a concrete backer board thicker than the one used previously. A major snow storm delayed the tiling for several days, but when work resumed things went quickly. I was impressed with the quality of work and how careful the workers were to clean up the work area at day's end. Both my wife and I are extremely happy with the new tiling job and Elite Contractors Services commitment to the customer's happiness. Having worked with other contractors, it is unusual to find one who stands by their work despite the expiration of the warranty period. Ken and Ana are a rare find whose work I admire and whose honesty and commitment I respect. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Our project began in January of 2015 and took 8 weeks to complete (March 2015). Permitting in the City of Falls Church took longer than we anticipated and our cabinets (ordered from Home Depot) were behind schedule. If everything had arrived timely, Elite could have finished the job in 5 weeks. Since completion, they came back to fix/finish a few odds and ends. Everything is in excellent working order. Overall, we eclipsed our budget but this was not because of Elite. They stayed true to the price that Mike Diggs quoted us. It was great that we could use our own finishes, we ended up getting exactly what we wanted but we did spend more on higher end finishes than originally planned. The craftmanship and quality of their work is really high. Ken employs his staff, which is not always the case with contractors. He has good people that know what they are doing and it shows in their work. It has been really gratifying to see the look on the faces of family and friends who have seen the "before" and "after". Elite was great, however, we strongly believe that the key to getting the most out of your project is to be an active participant in the project. Check in on the project daily, if possible. It's impossible to over-communicate your wishes, make sure that you go over the details with Ken and Elvin (Supervisor) even if you already discussed them with your designer. As with anything else, the devil is in the details. The project will go much faster if you communicate ahead of time so that work does not need to be changed to redone entirely.

I had the distinct pleasure of working with the team from Elite on an addition to my 115 year old house, which included a new kitchen and bedroom, as well as two bathroom installs/remodels. Ken, Ana, Mike and the entire crew exceeded every expectation I had going into the process. The crew was clean and very respectful of my home. I was constantly amazed at how hard they all worked. Ana was wonderfully patient as I obsessed over finding the perfect backsplash tile; Ken provided sage advice on all aspects of the project; and Mike, the architect and structural engineer, deserves sainthood for his time commitment not only to the multiple iterations of the drawings for the project, but also for managing the permitting process. I absolutely love the finished product. Everyone who has seen the kitchen has raved about the quality of the craftsmanship and materials, and the overall design. Since I've been living in/using the new space for a couple months, I'm very pleased with the overall function and flow of the space. I can't thank the whole team enough for their work and I hope to find opportunities to work with them in the future!

They did an outstanding job. Ken and Anna are a great team and their staff were some of the most professional contractors I have every worked with. (I deal with commercial construction at my Job) The team led by Elvin the foreman showed up on site at 7am every day, they worked fast and had an attention to detail. They cleaned up the job site every day as well. As things came up they wee very reasonable about making changes, including moving some work around while the engineer needed to go back and make some adjustments to the plans. The Job was scheduled for 12 weeks, and was completed in 12 weeks. They tried to get it done sooner but it just wasnt possible

Unable to schedule initial visit due to lack of response from the "Estimator". Initially contacted on 8/11/15 at 11:12 am and followed up again on 8/13/15 at 10:34 am. Each time I was told by the front office lady that an "estimator" will contact me. Nobody contacted me as of this afternoon (8/19/15 1:02 pm). Contacted another service provider and immediately able to schedule an appointment.

Ken and Ana and their crew did a fantastic job with both bathroom renovations and the crown molding installations. They are so pleasant to work with and so are their employees. They helped with everything from picking the materials to the final touches. They stayed within the budget and time written in the contract, and they were responsive and flexible with my additions along the way. The project only took 3 weeks total, and they were clean while working. There was only minimal damage to a wall and door that they fixed without a problem. They are trustworthy and timely, and I definitely plan to use them for future house projects. I would and have recommend them to anyone.

Ken Rahim and his team did an excellent job on the renovation of four of our bathrooms. The work was done with a high level of professionalism, on time, and on budget. We were especially pleased with their sensitivity to our allergies as they were careful to install extra protection to prevent against dust and debris in the house, and did a very thorough clean-up each day. We are very pleased with the end result.

I didnt use the deal because there estimate was 3 times more than what our budget could afford and also from what we had gotten from previous estimates for similar work by other contractors.

This is great as a starting point. Provided accurate measurements and suggested slight changes in cabinet/ island. May be good for simple layouts and do-it-yourself kitchen remodeling.

This job went very quickly. They showed up on the designated day on time and worked steadily through the day--every day. I appreciated they way they hung plastic to protect the rest of the condo as much as possible and cleaned up very nicely every day. I always had confidence that they knew what they were doing and did things well. Crew was cheerful and polite and totally trustworthy. Several times I asked their advice on my paint or lighting choices. As I had never done anything like this before, I appreciated the advice I received from Elite Contractors regarding the design, flooring, and countertop choices. I never felt hesitant to ask questions and they were able to advise me and find answers quickly to questions I had. I am very happy with my new kitchen and the work that Elite Contractors did and have already recommended them to several of my friends. After hearing from friends about their (sometimes painful) experiences, I feel I was very lucky to find Elite Contractors on Angie's List. Initially, I was uncertain about whether or not I wanted to do this job and had the design done months before I actually contracted to do the work. When I went and met Ken and Ana, I was much more confident that I wanted Elite Contractors to do the work and felt confident that everything would be done in an efficient and professional way. Only thing to be done is to install a small cabinet over the sink and install handles on cabinets. I highly recommend Elite Contractors and will use their services again when I do the next improvement to my condo. I am loving my new kitchen!

Elite did an excellent job. One of the main reasons we chose to go with Elite was because they listened to our ideas and viewed our project as pretty straight forward. Some contractors came out and were completely overwhelmed by what we thought was a fairly standard addition (and their pricing reflected this as they came in much higher than Elite). We met with at least 3 other contractors, and Elite certainly inspired the most confidence. We found that the designs provided by Mike Diggs captured what we were looking to do, and he was very good at revising the design to incorporate small changes without any drama. I thought the timeframe for completion of the work was ambitious (they said it would be within 6 weeks), but they held to this schedule, which was impressive. The team from Elite was on-site every morning ready to work, and they worked very hard to complete the job on time. As with any project, we ran into several challenges along the way, but issues were addressed in a timely manner. Some of the communication could have been better as sometimes my wife and I would not get the same info via email, but again, I view this as fairly minor as the end result was great. Thanks to Ken, Mike, and the Elite team.

No complaints on plans. Very responsive. Did not use the company for the remodel.

The Elite crew were wonderful -- truly professional, attentive, timely, and with a great price. Unlike other contractors, who make you sit through an interminable presentation then say they[ll get back to you with a price, Elite owner Ken knew his craft and his costs -- as all good contractors really do -- and gave me a price after 20 minutes of examining the project. He beat the highest bid by $16,000, and the next lowest by $3,000. Ana, the designer at Elite, was all over the details, as was Ken, and we talked multiple times a day. The installers were superb -- real artists, explaining things as they went, and the whole project was finished in 5 work days. (Another contractor told me he would be there "for weeks" on the project.) The quality of the work is first-rate, and I couldn't be happier with Elite. Definitely use them for your project!

The service went well. We had a pretty good idea of what we wanted, and they did a good job. They showed at the appointment in time, and they provided the renderings in a timely manner as they said they would.

Not well. While the deal was jobs in the entire metro area, they decided not to fulfill their offer once the small size of the job was explained. Too good to be true.

It took a while to get Ken, the owner of Elite Contracting Services, out to my house for an initial look at the kitchen I hoped to remodel. Ken said the delay was because there had been a very good response to the Angie's List Big Deal. This was not too much of a problem, though, as I was not under any kind of deadline. Ken eventually came out on the date/time we had agreed on (I'm not sure of it now), and we had a longish talk about the possibilities. I looked forward to getting the 3-D drawings, which again took longer than I expected to arrive. When they did, I confess I was a bit disappointed, because the "new" kitchen looked almost exactly like the old, with the proposed design seemingly calling for not much more than the current cabinets being replaced by slightly nicer ones, including a corner cabinet with a lazy Susan and another with a glass-fronted door. There were no real suggestions for new flooring, backsplash, or even new lighting, especially over the dining area which I thought I had specifically asked for. In fact, the dining area of the kitchen was not even included in the first design sent. I called Ken, or maybe e-mailed him, telling him of my disappointment. He had his wife (and partner) send over another design, this time with something in the dining area. But the second design still did not excite me. Maybe I was being naïve as my kitchen is small and I didn't necessarily want to knock down walls and relocate plumbing. Nonetheless, shortly before I was due to go out of town, I visited Elite's showroom and spent perhaps two hours talking to Ken's wife and reviewing some of Elite's past work. Though I did enjoy the conversation and appreciated some of their past work, I eventually decided I didn't feel confident enough in, nor comfortable enough with, Elite to have them do the remodel. eci

Anna was very nice and I worked with her for the design. Ken is who came out and took measurements. The design came out nicely. I have received a newer design from a different company that is more cost-effective.

Ken quickly contacted us and was flexible with our schedule. He listened to our needs and along with his wife chose cabinets flooring etc. His workers were on time and courteous. They worked quickly and efficiently. If there were any issues, he was very responsive. Because this project went well, we are having him renovate our kitchen next.
